The Memory Store

In these pages we aim to capture and share for posterity all the memories we can of those who have worked and lived in the Alnwick area.

This might include for example:

Stories and recollections that your grandparents passed on of life in their time

Wartime memories

What life was like in the many companies and workplaces no longer in existence

Memories of any era from rationing right through the Swinging Sixties to the recent past

We will be happy to carry out a short recorded interview with you anywhere you like, from the Museum to a local cafe to your home. We use a simple hand-held recorder and the process is very informal. Check out some of the memories below.

If you would like to help us, or can refer us to someone who you think would make a useful interviewee please just use our contact form.

In the Memory Store already we have written memories, sound memories and video memories, but we are hungry for more:
